Mastodawn

cheap wine
because nectar of the gods
is overrated

nature preserve
unexploded ordnance
surrounded by barbed wire

mauve
a color only seen
in a crayon box

dogs cooking dinner
the marvels
of AI

magnolia blossoms
they might be holding
the last light I see

lenity denied
a little too close
to the duck's nest

above it all
paper lanterns

dancing on the river
a lambent sunset

“It’s too dark in this place,” said the gent.
“Did this restaurant NOT pay its rent?
Your damn, flickering light
On the menu’s a blight.
I give up. You have lamb? I’m lamb bent.”

coastal winds
shedding her kimono
from the clothesline
